Dermot McCabe looks to have played his last game for Cavan after manager Tommy Carr confirmed that he would not be part of his championship plans. The 33-year-old Gowna colossus wasn't involved with the Breffni County for last Sunday's challenge match defeat to Galway in Headford, and afterwards Carr admitted that he would play no part in this year's championship. "He hasn't been around for the last two weeks. He was due to be with us in Galway on Sunday, but he didn't come. As far as I am concerned that is the end for this season," he said. McCabe has been the leading light of Cavan football for over a decade, being an ever-present since breaking into the team in 1995 when they lost the Ulster final. Two years later, the flame-haired midfielder played a starring role as Cavan captured their first Anglo-Celt Cup in nearly 30 years, and he was duly honoured with an All-Star award. In 1998, he helped Ireland to victory over Australia in the revived International Rules series, but over the last number of years, his career has been blighted by injury, though he remained one of Cavan's best players, either as a midfielder or full forward.
